This was really fun and interesting to read! I received it as a present. I've been learning Mandarin through Duolingo and LingoDeer, but wanted something more that helped me have a better understanding of characters themselves. This has been really useful. I might not recognize every character, but I recognize a lot more radicals, which helps. I also have a better understanding of characters that I've already learned through my apps. I know this is something I'll read again, because there's just This was really fun and interesting to read! I received it as a present.

The format of the book has characters grouped together by radicals or similarities in meaning. Each character is pictured, defined, and given a little story based on how it's written to help the reader remember its definition. There are also words that use that character included, to further help with learning. This format worked well for me. My one gripe would be that sometimes the little stories for a character wouldn't include the definition, so they weren't that useful. There were also a few characters toward the end of the book where the little story didn't match the definition and was actually repeated for a few characters, so they had nothing to do with one another at all. It was a little bothersome, which is why I took off a star. Other than that, I really enjoy this book and think it's a great language learning tool!

Lacks a pinyin index and a radical index and is organized so it's very difficult to find characters because it has so many sections. Has an English-Chinese index which is useless for readers. Since this is a book about characters, and since one character has several English meanings, the English-Chinese index is frustrating. Does have a pronunciation CD, but you can get that online for free. i don't know what the publisher was thinking. You almost need to buy several books to make one useful boo Lacks a pinyin index and a radical index and is organized so it's very difficult to find characters because it has so many sections.
